Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of Plato, Vol. 1: A New and Literal Version, Chiefly From the d104 of Stallbaum; Containing the Apology of Socrates, Crito, Phaedo, Gorgias, Protagoras, Phaedrus, Theaetetus, Euthyphron, and Lysis
In the introduction to each Dialogue I have con tented myself with giving a brief outline of the argu ments sufficient, I trust, to enable a reader not fami liar with the rigid dialectics of Plato to follow the Chain of his reasoning, and catch the points at which he so frequently diverges from, and again returns to, the main subject of each Dialogue.
The editions which have been made use of are those of Bekker, Ast, and Stallbaum, though with very few exceptions the readings of the latter have been adopted. The division into sections, according to the London edition of Bekker, has been retained, because the ar rangement is convenient, and it is believed that that edition is more generally to be met with in this country than any other.
